Filtering and smoothing techniques for parameter estimation

In this paper filtering and smoothing criteria for maximum-likelihood parameter estimation are described and compared. It is shown that the parameter estimate using the smoothing criterion may be obtained independently of the smoothed state estimate. Monte Carlo test results are presented comparing the efficiency of the estimation procedures.

Parameter estimation using an a posteriori criterion

A procedure for system parameter estimation from noisy data is presented that is based on an a posteriori criterion. It is compared with a maximum likelihood approach for a process-noise case. Both methods yield identical results when the process noise is not modeled.
